He always used to say he had a new monkey

Alcohol Free November, Day 12:

I'm not missing coffee, tea or coke at all at the moment.

I have a theory about that, though. I seem to have supplemented my caffeine intake with sugar. The trip to the chocomac outside our office has become daily ritual, and since starting work on Home I've been keeping what I call motivational sweets by my computer. Thus far they haven't lasted very long. It hasn't got to the stage where I'm putting sugar on my cornflakes yet, but it can't be far off.

This isn't good. Don't want to get fat just for the sake of giving up coffee for a while.
